Assess the cause
Review the affected area, the surrounding roof and how water moves through valleys, flashings, gutters or drains.

START WITH THE RIGHT SCOPE
What does your roof need?
A leak does not automatically mean replacement. A useful assessment separates the immediate problem from the condition of the wider roof.

REPAIR · REPLACE · MAINTAIN
A clear plan before
the work begins
Roofing decisions depend on the assembly beneath the surface as well as the material you can see. Make the proposal specific to your building.
Compare the scope
Consider repair and replacement options against the roof condition, access, material compatibility and any concealed damage.
Agree the details
Confirm what is included, how extra work is authorized, who handles permits and what documentation closes the project.
For a roof replacement
Ask the proposal to identify removal and disposal, decking inspection, underlayment, ventilation, flashings, roof edges and drainage connections. A change of material may also require a review of roof slope, support and the existing assembly.
For a repair or maintenance visit
Identify the affected detail and the limits of the repair. Moss and debris should prompt a condition check and a suitable cleaning method, rather than an assumption that the whole roof needs replacing.
MATERIALS THAT FIT THE BUILDING
Compare roof types,
then examine the details
Appearance matters. So do roof slope, drainage, exposure, maintenance and the connections around skylights, chimneys and walls. No one material is the right answer for every West Vancouver property.
On a smaller screen, swipe the table to compare all columns.
| Roof type | Useful considerations | Read more |
|---|---|---|
| Architectural asphalt shingles | A familiar option for pitched roofs. Review ventilation, shaded areas, valleys and flashing details. | Replacement guide → |
| Cedar shakes and shingles | Consider the existing character, shade and maintenance needs. A conversion needs an assembly review. | Cedar roofing guide → |
| Metal and copper | Compare profiles, roof geometry, compatible flashings and exposure. Coastal conditions should inform the specification. | Metal and copper guide → |
| Premium synthetic roofing | Compare the selected product’s profile, weight, installation requirements and documented performance. | Premium roofing guide → |
| Flat and low slope membranes | Focus on slope, drains, penetrations, edges and transitions. Select the system for the roof assembly and use. | Property planning → |

WEST VANCOUVER PLANNING
Plan for the site,
not just the roof area
Waterfront exposure, tree cover, hillside access and complex roof shapes can change the work. Review the actual property rather than applying one specification across the municipality.
- Exposure and drainage. Discuss wind driven rain, roof runoff, gutters, drains and material compatibility where coastal exposure matters.
- Access and protection. Plan delivery, staging, disposal and protection of landscaping or occupied areas.
- Shade and debris. Include valleys, roof edges and drainage points in the maintenance plan.
HOMES · STRATA · COMMERCIAL

STRAIGHT ANSWERS
West Vancouver roofing questions
Should I repair my roof or replace it?
That depends on whether the problem is isolated or reflects broader roof deterioration. Ask for the cause, the condition of the surrounding assembly and a comparison of the useful scope of a repair versus replacement. A stain or a roof’s age alone does not settle the decision.
What should I do if my roof is leaking?
Keep people clear of affected electrical areas, move belongings if safe and document what you can see from inside or from the ground. Call Paragon to discuss the leak and availability. Do not climb onto a wet or damaged roof.
Which roof material is best for a West Vancouver home?
There is no single best material. Roof slope, architecture, exposure, support, drainage and maintenance expectations all matter. Compare the complete assembly and the selected product requirements before choosing asphalt, cedar, metal or synthetic roofing.
Do I need a permit to replace a roof in West Vancouver?
Confirm with the District for your property and proposed scope. Structural work, a change in materials, heritage controls or other site requirements may affect the answer. Agree in writing who will check requirements and obtain any approvals.
Can moss be cleaned without replacing the roof?
Sometimes, but the roof should be assessed first. The condition of the covering, the amount of debris and the material’s cleaning requirements determine the appropriate approach. Avoid assuming that aggressive washing is suitable.
Do you work with strata and commercial properties?
Paragon provides roofing services for strata and commercial properties as well as homes. Include the property manager or decision maker, roof information, access constraints and planning stage in your enquiry so the scope can be discussed.
What affects the cost and schedule?
Roof area and geometry, access, removal, material choice, decking condition, flashings and drainage can affect the scope. Permit requirements, weather and the agreed sequence can affect scheduling. Request a written proposal that identifies inclusions, allowances and how changes are approved.
